By Rizwan Asad
Janata Dal (Secular) Chief and former prime minister HD Deve Gowda asserted that BJP will be defeated by ‘mahagatbandhan’ which mocked by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In a joint press conference held by Congress-JDS leaders, Deve Gowda said, “Modi mocks the idea of mahagatbandhan but they themselves are running coalition governments in many states. We will answer BJP by winning this election.”
Deve Gowda said that Congress-JDS have resolved differences and are fighting this election together. “There’s no confusion.
The seasoned politician is still undecided about his Lok Sabha constituency. He said, “It’s not yet decided from where I’ll contest, even I’m deliberating the same. The decision will be announced soon enough.”
HD Devegowda said Siddaramaiah has already said everything. In the election, we are all together. We had a long meeting, and we have come to a decision that we are together this time.
He also said that nomination has started. We hardly have any time. So, we speeding things up. Rahul Gandhi and I will hold a rally on 31st March. But, we won’t wait till 31st March. We have already started work.
He further said this election, even before putting our nomination papers, we need to clear the exisiting issues. These things are not a big deal. We can resolve it.
HD Devegowda said from now on, we are together on everything. Be it any Karyakartas or any leader, belonging to either parties, they should not speak or say anything that would affect the coalition dharma.
We have be there for each other till this elections get other. Our primary agenda is to tackle BJP. We can resolve our smaller issues even after elections. Issues in Mysore and Mandya will be solved.
HD Devegowda said on 31st March, No matter how busy he is, he will surely join us on that day for the rally. We have spoken to KC Venugopal as well. He is a national leader. He is the one leading everybody. We might have some issues. Modi mocks the idea of mahaghatbandhan. But, they themselves are running coalition government in many states. We will answer BJP by winning this elections. JDS and Congress are one and the same in this elections. Under the guidance of Sonia Gandhi, we are with Congress in this elections. The upcoming rally in Karnataka, will set an example for everybody. Today, Siddaramaiah and I sitting next to each other. We are all together in this fight.
And why is it hard to believe that Siddaramaiah and we are together. We will rally together and we will win elections together.
Siddaramaiah said last night and this morning, we discussed extensively on how to go about the Lok Sabha elections. But, this is not something new. We knew we were together as soon as we formed a coalition government in the state. We decided that we have to face BJP together long time ago. Our focus is to keep BJP at bay in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and win as many seats as possible. Even in the by-elections, we fought together and won the elections in Bellary, Jamkhandi and Ramanagara. We lost only in Shivamogga.
He said Yeddyurappa had won by a huge margin in the last elections. But, in the by-elections we did give them a good fight. Now, in this Lok Sabha Elections, we want to defeat BJP completely. BJP claimed that they will make Karnataka Congress free. But, this is not possible. Any party that is for secularism and for people’s movement will continue to exist in Karnataka. We are sure that people will support our party which is people’s party. We have already decided the seat sharing. In another two days, candidate list will also be out.
Our only aim is to defeat BJP. Our aim is to save the ethos of this nation. We are for the constitution and are party which upholds the principles of democracy. I am sure that the decision taken by the our party high command and JDS is the right one. It is imperative to defeat the BJP. We are together in this fight. We will hold rallies together. Rahul Gandhi and Devegowda will share the stage soon. There will be one rally on 31st of March in the Mysore Bengaluru region.
On the evening of 31st March, we will have a historic rally. We will begin our fight with this rally. We are all together in this fight. We are here to win all 28 seats. All Karyakartas will work towards this.
